Thanks for sharing. But your experience is not applicable in Hong Kong.

Oh I wish they had that one, that is a beautiful configuration. Mine is the white gold, but it's probably a better look for me.

I love the white gold. My goal is collect all 4...

Collect all 4 and they should definitely sell you a daytonA....

Thanks for sharing…gives me hope!!!

Similar purchase history with a local AD with a great SA. Will see if I end up as lucky as you in my White Daytona quest.

He basically paid about $56k total for about $88k worth of watches. Yeah, you really made your point here.

I think you missed the point, I bought watches that I liked and wanted. I have been a long term collector and the Rolex only make up a portion of my collection. Here are my mid level luxury watches. None of the Omegas were purchased from an AD that sold me a Daytona.

You don't collect Omega watches with the intention of making money on watches. That is the same mindset I have taken with my entire collection. I have always purchased watches that I like and wear.

That would make an original collection, Cellini are under rated. You can usually pick them up at a discount and at the discounted price they are a bargain.

Thanks Lee. I have enjoyed reading as your collection ebbs and flows and knowing your collection I appreciate the comment.

It appears to me that the honest ADs really want to put allocated pieces in the hands of people that will keep them. Good luck!

I tried to read it all but ….. anyway.
Congratulations on getting both, whatever and however it was done, well done!

yes, If the AD knows you are a true watch lover and will be loyal to them forever, I think they enjoy finding grail pieces for you. I got my white dial Daytona the same way. No history, just a good conversation and a photo of my modest watch collection.

I’m going to get a lot of hate for this post I know. But it’s just being honest.

I wouldn’t buy the Daytona if it was offered to me by my AD. First of all I don’t like the look and the design of it. Second, it’s hyped way too much. I believe that most Daytona owners and chasers are innit for the hype.

I don’t understand the whole Daytona hype thing.

So let it come...burry me

hey you have your opinion and others have theirs. Not everyone is going like the same watches, which is a good thing. For example, i dislike the CHNR/TT and you couldn't pay me to wear it, but that's just me. however could be convinced if it was on jubilee though ;)



Daytona was always a hard to get watch way back in the 90s with the Zenith Daytona.



Demand > supply was always there, but now amped up to another level
